Ollie Wade Shares New Single ‘Mouth Shut’
British artist Ollie Wade shares his brand new single Mouth Shut, a moody adult contemporary gem written about the feeling of being unable to express himself.
A very relatable song, Mouth Shut is a song about struggling to being able to express what you're feeling and choosing to keep your mouth shut in fear of saying things wrong, or not being understood. I can absolutely relate to this song as I find it hard to express how I feel, especially verbally, which is why I tend to write instead of speaking. This storytelling is beautifully conveyed through Ollie Wade's gorgeous, expressive vocals and how they are packed with raw emotion, soaring effortlessly over the captivating production that pairs intricate guitars and punchy beats that build up in energy to match the emotion pouring from his heartfelt vocal delivery.

Speaking about the song, Ollie Wade said,
Mouth Shut was written about the feeling of being unable to express myself. Especially when you don't know how to explain what it is you are feeling, and in fear of saying it wrong, or nobody understanding - you swallow your words and keep your mouth shut. I feel this song is especially prevalent in men, young and old, in bottling up their emotions and finding it hard to openly express how they are feeling. I find it easier to do through music and songwriting has always been my own personal therapy.
